Home International Regatta

The Home International Regatta is a historic annual competition dating back to 1962 seeing the four “Home Nations” of England, Scotland, Wales & Ireland compete. The event has a rich history – with many Olympians having raced here for their first international representation, the event has created a clear pathway onto Great Britain and Rowing Ireland national teams for decades.

The 2020 HIR will take place on Saturday, 25 July 2020 at Strathclyde Park, Scotland and will be hosted by Welsh Rowing.
